SISTERS
2011
Who does Melissa play?
- Rosie; According to the Wikipedia
page for the original book: childhood friend of Aisha, a white Australian,
working-class, full-time mother to Hugo. A somewhat smothering parent who,
at the same time, takes a laid-back approach to discipline. Presses charges
against Harry for assaulting her child
What's it about?
- Again, thanks to Wikipedia: At a barbecue attended by a group of family
and friends, an adult slaps an unrelated young child. The child is three year
old Hugo who has been misbehaving throughout the barbecue with no restraint
from his parents, "the steely-eyed Rosie and the wimpish Gary".
The adult is Harry, cousin of the barbecue host and adulterous businessman,
and whose slightly older son, Rocco, is being threatened by Hugo. This event
sends the large cast of characters "into a spiral, agonising and arguing
over the notion that striking a child can ever be justified. Some believe
a naughty boy should be taught some discipline, others maintain the police
ought to be brought in to investigate a common assault" with a range
of positions in between.
Cast Includes:
- Stellan Skarsgard, Kerry Fox and Melissa George
